Hofstra forward Jamal Coombs-McDaniel, a reserve on UConn’s 2011 national championship team before transferring, has been unable to suit up because of a knee injury and now will miss the season, coach Mo Cassara told CBS Sports on Friday.

Coombs-McDaniel, a 6-7 junior from Dorchester, Mass., averaged 5.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 16 minutes per game as a sophomore at UConn and was expected to make a big impact for the Pride.

The knee injury further thins an already depleted roster. Late last month, four Hofstra players were suspended for the season after being arrested in connection with six campus burglaries.

That means Cassara now has only seven scholarship players heading into Saturday’s game against Tulane.
